Why Choose Fam Favata for Batch Coding and Expiry Date Printing

Today, industrial marking has become a strategic element for every manufacturing company. Accurate batch coding and expiry date printing are not only essential for regulatory compliance but also play a crucial role in ensuring traceability, product quality, and consumer safety throughout the entire production process.

In an increasingly automated and digitalized manufacturing environment, choosing reliable industrial coding systems helps reduce errors, improve production efficiency, and protect your brand's reputation.

For more than seventy years, Fam Printing has been helping manufacturers select the most suitable batch and expiry date printing solutions, combining advanced technologies with expert technical consultancy and comprehensive support throughout every stage of the project.

‍

Why Are Batch Codes and Expiry Dates So Important?

Batch coding and expiry date printing are essential to ensure consumer safety and compliance with national and international regulations.

Every code printed on a product allows manufacturers to quickly identify the production batch, reconstruct the manufacturing process, and respond rapidly in the event of quality issues or product recalls.

Clear and durable marking also improves quality control, warehouse management, and complete product traceability, which has become a fundamental requirement in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and manufacturing industries.

‍

The Main Industrial Printing Technologies

Among the most widely used industrial coding systems are Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) and Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) technologies.

Both solutions are designed to print variable information directly onto products or packaging, but each is intended to meet different production requirements.

The most suitable technology depends on several factors, including production line speed, substrate type, required print quality, and the operating environment.

‍

TIJ Technology: The Best Choice for High-Quality Printing

Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printers are the ideal solution whenever outstanding print quality is required.

A TIJ printer can produce:

• QR Codes;
• DataMatrix codes;
• high-resolution barcodes;
• clear and legible text;
• company logos;
• variable production data.

TIJ technology delivers exceptional print resolution, is extremely easy to operate, and requires minimal maintenance thanks to integrated ink cartridges.

It is particularly suitable for coding folding cartons, cardboard boxes, labels, secondary packaging, and products in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, where high-quality printing is essential.

‍

CIJ Technology: The Ideal Solution for High-Speed Production Lines

Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) technology is specifically designed for continuous, high-speed production environments.

A CIJ printer generates a continuous stream of microscopic ink droplets that are precisely directed onto the product without making physical contact.

This non-contact printing process makes CIJ technology ideal for marking irregular, curved, or difficult-to-reach surfaces while ensuring maximum reliability and uninterrupted operation on fast-moving production lines.

CIJ printers are commonly used to print on bottles, cans, electrical cables, pipes, plastic components, extruded products, metal parts, and packaging moving at very high production speeds.

‍

TIJ or CIJ? How to Choose

Choosing between a Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) and a Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printing system depends on your production requirements and business objectives.

TIJ technology is the ideal solution when high print quality is the top priority. It delivers outstanding resolution for printing QR codes, DataMatrix codes, barcodes, text, logos, and other variable data on cardboard, paper, labels, and a wide range of porous and non-porous materials. In addition, TIJ printers require minimal maintenance and offer low operating costs, making them an excellent choice for applications where superior print quality and ease of use are essential.

CIJ technology, on the other hand, is specifically designed for high-speed production environments. Thanks to its non-contact printing process, it can reliably mark irregular or continuously moving surfaces such as bottles, cans, plastic components, metal parts, cables, and extruded products. Although it requires scheduled maintenance, CIJ technology provides exceptional reliability and continuous operation, even in the most demanding industrial environments.

There is no universally superior technology. The best choice depends on several factors, including the type of substrate, production line speed, required print quality, the information to be printed, and the operating conditions of the production process.

For this reason, Fam Printing works closely with every customer, providing expert technical consultancy to analyze production requirements and identify the most efficient and cost-effective coding solution, whether based on TIJ or CIJ technology.
